David de Gea (Manchester United, 22)

Chelsea v Manchester United - FA Cup Sixth Round Replay

Background After a tough start at United De Gea has established himself as one of the top keepers in the Premier League.

Position Goalkeeper

Strengths De Gea is one of the best shot stoppers in the world. His pure reflexes and incredible athleticism for his position means he can make saves few keepers can. Despite early criticism to the contrary he is also very consistent. He makes the saves he is supposed to as well as those he isn’t. A reliable option with the ball at his feet and has excellent distribution.

Weaknesses He is rapidly overcoming questions about his physical toughness but could do with being more vocal and dominating.

The next Iker Casillas Both renowned for their shot stopping and distribution. As he grew older Casillas matured in to a leader, enough so to be Real Madrid and Spain captain.
